Fairly new to life with a 987.1. So working through the things I should be looking after as I read through the manual. When I got to the page about topping up coolant I looked in the boot to see how much I had and found the gauge said was clear. Nothing!
Looking inside after opening the cap I couldn't see any. So I did my research and bought a porsche boxster approved coolant and some ionised water to pour in at 50/50 mix.
As started pouring in the coolant it became clear as it quickly filled to the top (after pouring in about 1L) that it was already full. Now looking inside I can see the level which appears higher than maximum.
Question 1 - Has anyone else had the plastic gauge not show coolant level?
Questions 2 - Do I now have to drain the coolant to get it back down to the max level?
Question 3 - Does it matter that I probably have mixed new and old coolant?
Many thanks
